America and India have an extradition treaty, but an Interpol red notice is a police alert, not a diplomatic request. The deportation of a foreign national who is in the United States illegally back to their home country does not require extradition proceedings in court. The extradition treaty, however, requires that “all requests for extradition shall be submitted through the diplomatic channel.” The CBP does not mention in its press release whether Kumar has legal counsel.
